Common Property Resources (CPRs) refer to those resources which are accessible to all members of a community and are managed by the collective efforts of the community. They do not belong to any one individual, but to the community as a whole. Examples of such resources include public parks, community gardens, and shared grazing lands.
These resources are shared by a group or community larger than a single household or family, and the rights to use these resources are held by the community. The responsibility for managing and maintaining these resources also falls on the community.
Such resources are essential for the survival and well-being of the community, as they provide necessary goods and services, like food, water, and space for recreation. They also play a crucial role in maintaining ecological balance.
